Riot Games, the developer behind League of Legends and Valorant, has stated that a recent security breach may have an impact on its short-term content release schedule.
Riot revealed on Friday, in a tweet spotted by BleepingComputer, that its development systems had been compromised in a social engineering attack earlier in the week.

“We don’t have all the answers right now, but we wanted to communicate early and let you know there is no indication that player data or personal information was obtained,” Riot said.
“Unfortunately, this has temporarily affected our ability to release content. While our teams are working hard on a fix, we expect this to impact our upcoming patch cadence across multiple games.”
Heads up, players. This may impact our delivery date for Patch 13.2. The League team is working to stretch the limits of what we can hotfix in order to deliver the majority of the planned and tested balance changes on time still. https://t.co/DJ8qAKSdQi

More information will be shared as it becomes available, according to the studio. The League of Legends development team stated on Friday that the incident could jeopardize the release of the MOBA’s upcoming version 13.2 update.
Riot had planned to release the patch on January 25th until this week. Some aspects of the release, such as a long-awaited art and sustainability update for Ahri, one of the game’s most popular champions, may now be delayed until patch 13.3 arrives in February.

“The League team is working to stretch the limits of what we can hotfix in order to deliver the majority of the planned and tested balance changes on time still,” the official LoL Twitter account said.
“Nothing that would have been in 13.2 will be cancelled, we might just have to move things that can’t be hotfixed (e.g. art changes) to a later date instead,” Andrei van Roon, the head of Riot’s League Studio, added.
